Taylor 354ce 12-String - USA 2008

Here is a 2008 Taylor 354ce 12-String, a beautifully crafted USA-made acoustic that represents Taylor’s reputation for precision, playability, and modern acoustic tone. It is in excellent condition and comes complete with its original Taylor hard case, showing only light cosmetic tarnish on the tuners with no structural issues.

This example features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with sapele back and sides, producing a clear and balanced 12-string voice with shimmering octave richness, strong articulation, and smooth sustain. The tone is even and well-defined, with crisp highs, controlled lows, and a lush harmonic spread that works well for both strumming and fingerstyle.

This example features Taylor’s Grand Auditorium body shape with a Venetian cutaway, offering a comfortable playing feel and easy upper-fret access. The mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard provide a smooth, consistent playing surface with the familiar fast feel Taylor guitars are known for.

Playability is very comfortable for a 12-string, with a responsive setup and the usual Taylor refinement making it far more approachable than many traditional designs. The neck profile and precise fretwork contribute to its easy, low-effort feel across the entire fingerboard.

Condition is excellent with only very light signs of use and everything functioning as it should. A modern, versatile and highly playable USA 12-string that delivers lush shimmer, strong clarity, and professional performance capability. Comes with the original Taylor OHSC.
